In addition to becoming a member, there are more ways to support Wilderness Watch and our mission to keep America’s National Wilderness Preservation System wild.

Legacy giving
Bequests are gifts made through a will at the end of life and can include money, part of an estate, or an asset such as a stock, piece of art, or real estate. The four most common types include: specific property bequests which identify a specific investment or real estate holding to be gifted; dollar amount bequests which state a specific dollar amount to be gifted; percentage bequests which bequeath a designated percentage of an estate; and residue bequests which gift the remainder of an estate after friends and family have been provided for. Speak to your financial advisor for tax benefits.
Wilderness Watch’s Forever Wild Endowment is a permanent fund set up to receive contributions, which are invested to generate a steady income. Wilderness Watch leaves the principal intact, using the interest and dividends to pursue our organization’s mission. A gift to our endowment is a gift to Wilderness forever. Speak to your financial advisor for tax benefits. Read our investment policy.
